Derby County's new Female Talent Pathway, which is directly aligned to the Derby County Women’s first team, will be holding open trials throughout June for the 2023/2024 season.

Squads will run from U10 to U20 level, with the pathway amalgamating the current set ups of the Derby County Women’s Academy and the Regional Talent Centre ran by Derby County Community Trust. 

Players from Derbyshire and surrounding areas who have a desire to develop themselves in an elite environment are invited to apply for the trials and become part of the new Derby County Female Talent Pathway.

All age groups listed below are for the 2023/2024 season so please ensure you register your child/yourself (if U18/U20 player) for the age group that they will be next season. The deadline for applications is Friday 19th May 2023. Once the deadline is closed, you will receive an email with further details confirming the trials.

All trials will be held at Moor Farm Training Centre.

Week Commencing Monday 5th June 2023

All players must pre-register and you will be contacted directly to confirm your place. After the first stage of the trial process, new players will be contacted to confirm whether they will be invited to progress through the recruitment stages. If unsuccessful, further exit routes will be highlighted.

Current RTC and DCFCW players will be enrolled on to both trials, where successful new triallists will join them. Final decisions on places in the pathway will be made following the attendance at both trial sessions – this applies to all applicants.

All players interested in trialling, including current RTC and DCFCW players, should register here:
